Ljiljanna Ravlich dating Eric Ripper? I have never seen this in the news, although I could have missed it. Is there a source for this, though?

Thanks

The reference at the bottom of the article states that she is dating Ripper. Hesperian 02:34, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This needs to be updated again. Ravlich has been handed a couple of Bowler's portfolios.

Is this really notable?

There is a line claiming that Ravlich is "She is also thought to be the first Croatian-born woman elected to a parliament outside Croatia". Is this really notable? It sounds like speculative trivia to me, and even if it were true (and there's plenty of Croatian born women elsewhere in the world) is it really significant enough to be included? She isn't the first Croatian to be elected to a Parliament, the first woman in a Parliament, or the first Croatian woman to be elected to a Parliament. Why not say she's the first person from he families old street in Split to become a Minister, or the first member of her family to become a Minister. It's true but hardly significant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.161.78.193 (talk) 05:44, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Start of term?

The infobox in this article stated that Ravlich's term on the Legislative Council began on 14 December 1996 (the day of the state election), and that she succeeded Alannah MacTiernan who resigned to contest the Assembly seat of Armadale. However, several references on the WA Parliament website (Ravlich's biography, the Women in Parliament fact sheet) indicate that Ravlich was elected in December 1996 but that her term began on 22 May 1997. As a similar situation has just arisen at the 2017 WA election (three MLCs resigned to contest lower house seats), and to nominate for the vacancies, candidates had to have contested the previous election and agreed to nominate again (so the Nationals seat is vacant). So it would appear that MacTiernan's seat was vacant from her resignation in November until May 1997, as Ravlich would not have been eligible to nominate as she did not contest the 1993 election. --Canley (talk) 11:22, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I see from the MLC list that Paul Sulc was elected to fill the MacTiernan vacancy. --Canley (talk) 11:28, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
